Keep my boat afloat!

I love those moments of instant inspiration! I recently got a sneak peek at the new Seasonal Expressions 2 Idea Book that goes live on May 1st. Inside the pages was a fabulous 12x12 layout that inspired me to create a smaller version in a card. I have combined the awesome overlay from the Artbooking cartridge with the Regatta papers, My Anchor stamp set and the Life in Pictures Stamp of the Month.

Isn't that overlay the best background! It can be cut to any size you want. Then just create smaller triangles in background paper and fill in wherever you like. I used the polaroid looking frame from the stamp of the month to create a fake photo. The cute sailboat image sits inside the frame perfectly!

The Regatta papers and the following stamp sets are only available until the end of April. Don't miss out on these gorgeous products, order online or contact me to place an order.

Are you curious about the layout that inspired this card or the SE2 Idea Book coming out in May? Contact me to get more information or ask me about my Spring/Summer celebration and Open House to see the newest products!

Yellow Makes Me Smile :)

 The color  yellow just makes me happy! One of my favorite and often used colors was Creme Brulee. As some of you may know this color has been retired and replaced with another yellow called Canary. As sad as I was to see Creme Brulee leave, I assure you that the new Canary color is lovely and may get just as much love!

I decided to use up some of the cardstock I had, along with some other papers that I have been hoarding. This layout was inspired by one featured in the Dream Pop promotion awhile ago.
